Connectorized cables

ADC’s connectorized cables are designed for voice and intermediate speed data applications.
Each cable assembly is equipped with either two connectors or one connector and one stub.
Specialty cables with two connectors on one end are also available. All feature 24 AWG
(0.5 mm) twisted pair cable covered with PVC jacket material.

ADC’s rugged, high performance Indoor/Outdoor Drop Cables are used in FTTP networks to make
drop connections from Fiber Distribution Terminals to the Optical Network Terminal (ONT) at the
living unit typically found in multiple dwelling unit (MDU) applications. Applications include, but
are not limited to situations where cables are transitioning from an outdoor to indoor environment.
The bulk non-connectorized cable is shipped on small spools for easy payoff.

A serial port is a computer interface that transmits data one bit at a time. In
common use, the term “serial port” refers to ports that use a particular asynchronous
protocol. These ports include the RS-232 ports on PCs and many
serial ports in embedded systems. Most serial ports are bidirectional: they can
both send and receive data. Transmitting one bit at a time might seem inefficient
but has advantages, including the ability to use inexpensive cables and
small connectors.

ADC produces a wide variety of fiber cable
assemblies and accessories designed to meet the
specific application needs of our customers. From
patch cords, multifiber assemblies and connectors
to adapters and attenuators, ADC is the choice
for the essential products necessary to meet the
requirements of today’s high-speed networks.

Cable length tests can be very helpful in troubleshooting cabling problems with UTP. The Cabling
infrastructure or cable plant in a building is expected to last at least ten years. Cabling related
problems are one of the most common causes of network failure. The quality of cabling components
used, the routing and installation of the cable, and quality of the connector terminations will be the
main factors in determining how trouble-free the cabling will be.
Prior to starting the lab, the teacher or lab assistant should have several correctly wired CAT 5
cables to test.

This will be a 4-pair "crossover" cable. A crossover cable means that the second and third pairs on
one end of the cable will be reversed on the other end. The pin-outs will be T568-A on one end and
T568-B on the other end. All 8 conductors (wires) should be terminated with RJ-45 modular
connectors.
This patch cable will conform to the structured cabling standards. If the patch cable is used between
hubs or switches, it is considered to be part of the "vertical" cabling. Vertical cabling is also called
backbone cabling. A crossover cable can be used as a backbone cable to connect two or...

This will be a 4-pair "rollover" cable. This type of cable is typically 3.05 m (10 ft) long but can be as
long as 7.62 m (25 ft). A rollover cable can be used to connect a workstation or dumb terminal to the
console port on the back of a Cisco router or switch. Both ends of the cable built will have RJ-45
connectors on them. One end plugs directly into the RJ-45 console management port on the back of
the router or switch. Plug the other end into an RJ-45-to-DB9 terminal adapter. This adapter converts
the RJ 45 to a 9-pin female D connector...
